Jefferson scientists uncover gene mutation that cuts colon polyps, may suppress cancer
Cancer biologists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson have found a gene mutation that can dramatically reduce the number of colon polyps that develop, and in turn, potentially cut the risk of cancer. view more (2007-03-22)
Colorectal cancer screening remains essential for elderly Americans
As people get older, their risk of developing polyps and colorectal cancer increases. Currently, there is no clear evidence or established guideline for the upper age limit for colorectal cancer screening by colonoscopy. view more (2007-10-15)
Case Western Reserve University researchers identify colorectal cancer gene
Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine researchers published a study in the March 7th issue of The American Journal of Human Genetics identifying the hereditary components of colorectal cancer (CRC.) "Identification of Susceptibility Genes for Cancer in a Genome-wide Scan: Results from the Colon Neoplasia Sibling Study" is... view more... (2008-03-10)
Other Illnesses, Body Weight Do Not Explain Racial Disparities in Colon Cancer Survival, UAB Researchers Say
A new study by University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) researchers shows that body-mass index (BMI) and co-existing medical conditions (co-morbidity) do not explain the decreased survival observed among African-Americans compared to Caucasians who also have colon cancer. view more (2009-11-24)
Suppressing cancer with a master control gene
Starting with the tiny fruit fly and then moving into mice and humans, researchers at VIB and K. U. Leuven show that expression of the same gene suppresses cancer in all three organisms. view more (2009-02-23)
Prevalence of pre-cancerous masses in the colon same in patients in their 40s and 50s
The prevalence of pre-cancerous masses in the colon is the same for average-risk patients who are 40 to 49 years of age and those who are 50 to 59 years of age. view more (2008-06-11)
Early stage colon cancer characterized by inactivation of gatekeeper gene
The absence or inactivation of the RUNX3 gatekeeper gene paves the way for the growth and development of colon cancer, Singapore scientists report in the Sept. issue of the journal Cancer Cell. Previous studies have shown that RUNX3 plays a role in gastric, breast, lung and bladder cancers. view more (2008-09-10)
Virtual colonoscopy reveals diseases outside the colon, as well
Computed tomographic (CT) colonography, known as virtual colonoscopy, can be used to diagnose significant medical problems in organs outside the colon, according to a new study conducted at the San Francisco VA Medical Center (SFVAMC). view more (2005-07-27)
Gene dose affects tumor growth
Researchers at Johns Hopkins and Ohio State University have found that the number of copies of a particular gene can affect the severity of colon cancer in a mouse model. view more (2008-01-04)
Scientists stop colon cancer growth in mice by blocking just one enzyme
In cell culture experiments, scientists from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB) and the University of Texas at Arlington determined that stopping the activity of a single enzyme called aldose reductase could shut down the toxic network of biochemical signals that promotes inflammation and colon cancer cell growth. view more (2006-10-02)
Black Americans Are At Greater Risk for Colon Polyps
Black Americans have a higher occurrence of colon polyps, according to a new study. This is a significant finding considering the incidence of colon cancer among black men has increased and remained unchanged among black women during the last 20 years.

Hospital quality indicator may not be linked to patient survival after colon cancer surgery
Examining a specific number of lymph nodes after colon cancer surgery, a measurement that has been recommended as a quality indicator for hospitals, is not associated with length of patient survival. view more (2007-11-14)
Pitt vaccine to prevent colon cancer being tested in patients
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have begun testing a vaccine that might be able to prevent colon cancer in people at high risk for developing the disease. view more (2009-03-20)
CT colonography versus colonoscopy for colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in most developed countries. view more (2005-10-11)
Change in gene may be underlying molecular defect in some colorectal cancers, study suggests
Inactivation of a DNA repair gene may be an early step in the development of sporadic colorectal tumors, and detection of the molecular basis for this inactivation may ultimately be useful in risk assessment for colorectal cancer. view more (2005-09-21)
Genetic variation impacts aspirin's effectiveness in preventing colon cancer, Dartmouth study finds
Dartmouth researchers are among a team of doctors that have learned more about how people may or may not benefit from taking aspirin in the effort to curb colon cancer. view more (2006-10-25)
New studies show young African Americans at much higher risk for pre-cancerous polyps
Two studies released at the 70th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology show that young African Americans are at a much higher risk for colon cancer than other races. view more (2005-10-31)
Colon cancer shuts down receptor that could shut it down
Though a high-fiber diet has long been considered good for you and beneficial in staving off colon cancer, Medical College of Georgia researchers have discovered a reason why: roughage activates a receptor with cancer-killing potential. view more (2009-04-14)
Follow-up endoscopic surveillance in colorectal cancer patients improves survival
Colorectal cancer patients who undergo colonoscopic surveillance during follow-up after surgery experience improved survival, according to a study to be published in the April issue of Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology but currently available on-line. view more (2007-03-16)
Can a Mediterranean diet prevent colon cancer?
Researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center are beginning a study to look at whether diet can impact a person's risk of developing colon cancer. view more (2007-06-14)
